Gibby Gilbert, Sr. to beat Jim Albus -104 @ Five Dimes
Will take a shot at Gilbert in this match at these odds. He doesn't play as much on Tour as Albus nowadays, but when he played last month, he finished 26th and beat Albus by 16 shots. The last time Albus finished as high as 26th was 15 months ago.

Gil Morgan to beat Mark James -138 @ Five Dimes
I'd make the consistent Morgan a stronger favourite in this match. He has finished ahead of James in five of their last seven common events and has a worst finish of 11th in three visits to Rock Barn. James is making his debut this week.

Gil Morgan to beat Scott Simpson -110 @ BetFred
Similar story here. Morgan also has a 5-2-0 h2h record in his last seven common events, or 9-3-0 in the last twelve, so it is clear who is the more consistent player. Against Morgan's impressive course form is just one previous appearance from Simpson and he managed to only finish 45th and nine shots behind Morgan on that occasion.
